Barbara's eyes gleam. Yes, yes... she and Cass will have to make sure Johnny is put in his place. In a fun way, of course. She has been working with Cass on this, on pranks and silliness. Of all the people in the world who could take it, Johnny could, and take it well to boot. That, and... he might be a good person for Cass to meet, even if it is under the guise of all of this. He has such a good Big Brother energy- the kind that might warm Cass up a bit. Inwardly, she groans. The relic's affinity for puns are infectious.

This time, Babs groans out loud, sinking into the sofa with a pout. "She broke one of my friend's heart. Can't have that, can we? She is so.... snooty, mean, and just... ugh, the worst," Barbara says, rolling her eyes at even the mention of her. "I am all for uplifting other women, and not being, y'know, a woman hating woman, but she is just... ugh!" Barbara says, a bit dramatically. In truth... that time had been some of the darkest for Roy. She doesn't think he's moved on, even after everything. It isn't like everyone needs another person to be happy but... it helps to have someone in their corner. Roy just rejects it all, now.

Thanks to her.

Cassandra rarely, if ever, saw her big sister in distress. This Dezzer must be a terrible warrior if she could instill this outburst in Oracle. She said she was an assistant? There was more to this than she could understand. In part, at least. Cassandra could understand pain, especially when it was happening right in front of her. She hugged Barbara tighter, then softened her grip. She stroked the bits of Barbara's hair that she could touch, stroking it just as her sister had been stroking hers. It was nice... for her. She hoped it was the same for Barbara.

Still she clung to what this Dezzer had done. Hearts were... complicated. The girl's eyes burned wroth, ready to smite anyone who would so much as dare bring sadness to one of her own. It was something of an acquired familial trait. Watching Barbara, though, Cassandra's eyes quickly simmered, and she too struggled to hide her hurt. "Sorry." It did not have anything to do with her... except that it did. This hurt her sister, in its own way. She did not want to repay suffering with suffering. Not anymore.

"Tell Rob- ... Tell my brother sorry. I want him... happy."

"You're good at that," Barbara says, praising Cassandra and her hair stroking. The young woman is not touchy feely like Barbara, and moments like these are cherished and encouraged. Who knows- maybe Cass will do this for someone else who needs it in the future. All the better for everyone, right?

"I am not going to tell him, because you are. It is all going to work out, okay?" Barbara reassures her. "This is just right now. It will take time, and that is okay. All you have to do is show him you aren't going anywhere, okay?" she says, giving Cass a sad smile. Knowing Damian, it will take years. Babs is in it for the long haul if Cass is. "He needs to get through puberty, that will cool him off," she says dryly, then giggles a little.

"I ever show you my favorite movie when I'm upset?" Babs asks, sitting back up a little. "It is called... Mamma Mia. An old friend of mine showed it to me when I was in the dumps once, and... well, I cannot get enough."
